...is always on today (the fourth of July.) But, for the first time in years it isn't on today! It is a bit of a tradition around here to watch this movie on the 4th and the only way we can watch it is to pay for it. Silly, first world problem, but someone in tv land is messing with my holiday.  |

Encore channel is running it all day. I saw that. But it is a premium channel and I didn't want to pay for it.  I am just disappointed that it isn't on a regular channel.  |

DH and I were looking for it too. We don't subscribe to Encore, so we're going to miss it for the first time in years. |

I own it and I used to watch it every 4th of July, but I started getting tired of it so the peas suggested Jaws instead. That's another fun 4th of July movie.

It's on Encore here too, but Comcast (at least here) doesn't consider Encore a premium channel. You don't pay extra for it.

I love Independence Day! I just switched from cable to Direct tv and have a free trial on the premium channels, so I'm DVR-ing it from Encore to watch all year! LOL! (Not that I don't already have the regular DVD and the BluRay, but now I can watch it on any tv without getting up to put it in!)
But Jaws......haven't thought about that one in forever! Might have to search it out today too!

OMG, what a coincidence!
I fell asleep this afternoon, and dreamed that there was a shark that was constantly swirling around my feet. LOL

Lol. We're watching the soccer right now, but as soon as it's over we're grilling and then having a TV dinner with "Independence Day". We own it so finding it isn't a problem. One of my all-time favorite movies. |

It's on Encore - I think they're just repeating it.

I love how Roy Scheider says, "That's some bad hat, Harry," because there's some production company or TV writer who uses that in his tag at then end of some TV show... or used to use.... You know?! |

I'm Canadian but we still watch it every July 4th as it's just tradition now! I can't believe it's not mandatory to be on tv.

So many good lines....
"I'm Baaaaaaack!"
"I picked a hell of a day to quit drinking"
"Welcome to Earth! Now that's what I call a close encounter!"

Love the movie and watch it almost every time it's on tv. Watched it again tonight, in fact. The only thing I'd change in the storyline would be the First Lady. I don't like it that she dies and leaves such a cute lil girl. The first time I watched the movie was when it first premiered in the theaters. My daughter and I waited in a very hot line to watch it on that July 4th.

We have Independence Day on DVD and tried to watch it, but for some reason it won't load in the player. So DH said "we should watch Jaws, that takes place over the 4th", so that's what we watched too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Caught part of ID4 today on Encore, so my day definitely felt complete. "And what is that SMELL?" Love Will Smith! |
